Description

The Manley Dual Main EQ is a premium dual channel passive equalizer designed to bring greater weight, depth, and musicality to recordings, mixes, and mastering projects. Combining a passive inductor based EQ network with high voltage tube makeup gain and custom Manley Iron transformers, it delivers a rich analog character that goes beyond simple tonal shaping. Carefully matched stereo channels provide consistent imaging, making it an excellent choice for mix buses, mastering chains, stems, and individual tracks. 

Designed to produce broad, natural EQ curves, the Dual Main EQ allows engineers to shape low frequencies with authority while adding smooth, open high end and preserving clarity across the audio spectrum. Its intuitive controls encourage musical adjustments, and compatibility with both standard stereo and external Mid/Side workflows offers added flexibility for modern studio environments. Handcrafted in California with a universal power supply for worldwide operation, the Dual Main EQ is built to deliver dependable performance and the distinctive analog sound that has made Manley equipment a trusted choice in professional studios.
